Chapter 13

Hikan's POV

Me and Kinoshita clashed head on, my blade sunk into his gauntlet and held it in place, I didn't see any blood, but my blade was now stuck, Kinoshita lifted his hand that my blade was in and lifted me off the ground as well, and threw me towards the wall, I did a somersault and landed on my feet and shot off the wall aiming for a stab, but he jumped back and landed on his feet,

"Not bad kid, but you'll need more to defeat me!" he said and ran straight towards me, he was fast too, I guess being tall wasn't the only good thing about him, he swung a right hook and it collided with my sword, knocking it out of my hand, he tried to swing his next attack, but I tackled him to the ground to counter it, I gave him a right hook of my own and followed with a knee to the gut, he pushed me off and stood up, I ran for my blade, but was intercepted by the projectiles coming out of Kinoshita's gauntlets, the projectiles were needles, and he wasn't letting me get my sword, and if I couldn't do it, then I wasn't winning this fight, Kinoshita charged at me and tried to knee my stomach, but I caught it and threw him back, then made a run for my sword, he shot those needles again, but I couldn't stop now, I dove for my sword and grabbed it, but I couldn't dodge his attack, two needles went into my shoulders, another went into my arm, and two others went in both my legs, I could still stand, but the needles felt like hell,

"Is that all you got?!" I taunted, Kinoshita laughed,

"You really think you can taunt me? You really are stupid!" He yelled and ran at me, he was even faster this time, I didn't have time to react, he punched my gut and I fell to my knees, then he followed up with a kick, I flew towards the ceiling and broke right through it, I landed above the level we were originally on, clutching my stomach I spat up blood and saw that my arms were bleeding, probably from the needles that he shot at me, Then Kinoshita flew up in front of me, I looked at his face, he was smiling from eye to eye, he walked up to me and grabbed my neck lifting me off the ground, "Pathetic, I really expected better out of you." He said, I grabbed his arm, I barely had any strength left, what was going on, he barely hit me at all, why was I so powerless?

"..!" the needle! they were poisoned, that had to be it!

"Did you realize now? Even if I do die, you'll die from the poison, it's a bitch isn't it? This is what I felt from my childhood." He said, I don't care what happens to me, I need to defeat this guy and protect everyone, my vision started to blur, this poison really is killing me, I couldn't stop it, there was only one thing I could do, I closed my eyes,

"Saito... kill... this guy..." I muttered, my vision was now black, but I was able to hear one last thing before losing consciousness,

"With pleasure..."


Saito's POV

"I guess he's already dead." Kinoshita said, he loosened his grip on me a bit, biggest mistake to ever make,

"Far from it" I said, Kinoshita looked shocked and tightened his grip, I smiled, this is going to be fun,

"How?! How are you not dead?!" He said, c'mon I'm not leaving that easily,

"Because, you're not strong enough to kill me, you think you can become the CPU of Lastation? Ha! Yeah right!" I said, he tightened his grip even more, it actually started to hurt, I forgot the feeling of pain a while ago,

"Shut UP!" he yelled and he punched my gut, knocking me out of his grip and I flew into a wall, geez he's so stupid, why did I even agree to work with him?

"Finally, now let the real fun begin!" I said, materializing my blade, Kinoshita's face started to turn into a smile,

"So, you finally showed up, perfect now I can kill you and the CPU bitch!" he said, he also raised his gauntlets up and I raised my sword, I charged at him and did a horizontal slash, he dodged by rolling out of the way, but I was faster, I ran over towards him and kicked his stomach, sending him rolling into a wall, he crashed into it and a bunch of rubble fell on him, that was too easy,

"C'mon, at least try to make this fun for me." I said, then Kinoshita yelled, and I saw a beam shoot out of the rubble right towards me, I couldn't dodge it, I held my blade up and the beam collided with it, I stood in place holding the beam at bay, it wasn't easy either, at least he wasn't making it easy for me anymore,

"I'LL KILL YOUUU!" he yelled and he jumped out of the rubble and charged at me, I couldn't move thanks to that little beam, so I only have one option, I pulled up the sword I was holding and blocked his strike, but the beam hit me head on, I flew back and landed on the wall, the beam ripped open the hoodie I had on, and my entire upper body was bloody, that Neptune girl wasn't going to be happy about this, I coughed up more blood, okay I guess I shouldn't be making jokes in this kind of situation,

"Man, I gotta say, you're making this fun." I said with a smirk, Kinoshita just had an angry look,

"WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING DIE!" he yelled, I facepalmed, doesn't he know already?

"I say we take this above ground!"I yelled and charged at him, he swung his fist, but ended up missing, I hit his gut with the hilt of my sword and did a somersault kick, knocking him up into the air, then I ran up the wall, and jumped off aiming straight for him, and tackled him straight through the ceiling and the next wall after that, we were now outside, and my stomach was killing me, when I tackled him, he must've held his gauntlet out or something and I slammed right into it, I stood up and grabbed Kinoshita's neck, I had to kill him now!

"I had enough of this..." I said, I held my sword in my hand and lifted it over my head, Kinoshita looked at me and smiled,

"I'm taking you with me!" he said, he pulled back his fist and punch me with all the strength he had, his gauntlet went straight through my stomach and his fist popped out of my back, blood shot out everywhere, it splattered on his face and the blood dripped down onto the ground, making a puddle of blood around me, I released my grip and stepped back about five steps,

"Ah... *cough* this... isn't good." I said, I fell over and held my stomach, a puddle of blood started to surround me, Kinoshita got up and walked towards me, he was smiling,

"So this is how the great 'Hikan Masato' dies?" he said, I starting laughing while coughing up blood,

"Ha... HAHAHA!" I started to laugh maniacally, this was hilarious!

"What's so funny? Is this how you'll die? Die laughing in a puddle of blood."

"Killing me won't solve anything! the CPU's will still be at large, and some will be pissed if they heard that Hikan died!" I said, either way, he lost

"Well, I think it's time I shut your fucking mouth for you." He said raising his gauntlets, "Any last words?" he said also, oh I have plenty, but I'll go with this,

"Yeah... behind you." I said, he turned around and was greeted by a sword slash to his face, he recoiled and yelled in pain, holding his face,

"AGGGGGHHHH!" it's about time you woke up, standing behind Kinoshita was Black Heart, and she was in her CPU form and was holding a now bloody sword,

"No-one takes my nation from me!" she yelled, Kinoshita looked at her with an angry look, it kinda looked funny because one of his eyes were shut and surrounded with blood, I guess she got his eye,

"Now then." I struggled to get up, but was able to, and materialized my sword, and stood next to Black Heart, "We'll talk about this later." I said, she smirked and nodded, I wouldn't be able to kill both of them here, so I'll partner up with Black Heart for the time being.

"DAMN YOU!" Kinoshita yelled, he held up his hands and began to charge an attack, I know this won't end well if he can nail that attack

"Let's go!" I yelled, me and Black Heart charged towards him

"We'll end this in one strike!" Black Heart yelled, I covered my sword in fire and slashed, Black Heart swung her sword as well, Kinoshita recoiled from the hit, but didn't go down,

"Oh fuck this..." I muttered, I ran up to Kinoshita again, but I stabbed him with my sword, and kept stabbing, blood flew out of him, some landed on my face, my clothes, and a little even got on Black Heart, but I kept going, the feeling to kill again... it's amazing!

"Gah!" Kinoshita grunted then finally fell to his knees, he stopped charging his attack, but he wasn't dead, "You... lucky... bitch." He said, I started to laugh,

"You're hilarious, you knew that this was going to happen." I said with a smirk, Kinoshita looked at my eyes,

"I knew you were against us, but why would you help the CPU's?" he said, I'm not, but why would I tell him that?

"Cause you all are foolish if you think you can defeat the CPU's." I said, not even I can fight them all at once,

"You traitor!" he yelled, I shook my head and held my sword up,

"No, not traitor... 'Savior'." I said, then slashed at his head, he fell immediately, finally he was gone, I couldn't stand him anymore, Black Heart floated next to me,

"You have alot of explaining to do." She said,

"Yeah, I do..." I said as I fell over, I was too tired, and I was on the verge of losing consciousness, I did my part, now I need to sleep, I heard Black Heart yell "Hikan!", looks like you're up, I left control of Hikan's body, except it didn't help, we were both gone.


Third Person POV

Hikan was lying face first on the ground, Black Heart was by his side, and soon IF made her way out of the cave, and ran towards both of them,

"What happened?!" she yelled on the verge of tears, Black Heart was staring at Hikan,

"He killed that man, but I don't know if he'll survive, he's lost so much blood." Black Heart said, IF dropped to her knee's next to Hikan, no way was he going to die, he promised her that he wouldn't die,

"Hikan, you promised that you wouldn't die on us, you're not leaving us!" IF yelled as she picked Hikan up, his face was pale and his stomach was bursted open, the blood started to get on IF, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore, she couldn't let Hikan die, tears poured down her face, some even go on Hikan, Black Heart transformed back into her normal form with a sad look on her face,

"Is he that special to all of you?" she said, IF looked at her,

"Hikan didn't have a good childhood, he never learned how to express feelings, now that I met him, I wanted to help him, no-one deserves to go through what he went through." IF said, the only thing that she worried about was what would Neptune respond to this?

"Let's get him back to my Basilicom." Black Heart said, the Basilicom was kind of the home for a CPU, they ran their nations from there, like a kingdom, but they heard something, when they looked at Hikan, he had a fiery aura around him, he began to heal, fire appeared around his wounds and begun to heal them, and the skin that he lost slowly started to come back together as well, IF and Black Heart stood awestruck at the scene that was playing out, Just what is Hikan? It was a question that both of them had on their minds

About ten minutes later, Hikan was good as new, he was still unconscious, but he was alive, the only thing that looked different about him was his hair was messier, but he was alive,

"Let's go back to the hotel, I'm sure Nep and Compa are worried sick." IF said, Black Heart looked surprised, who was Nep and Compa? Was one of them Purple Heart?


Hikan's POV

Am I alive? I can't see anything, where am I, all I know is someone has a hold of me, but I couldn't move my body no matter what I did, I tried to talk, but couldn't speak, Saito wasn't anywhere, he wouldn't speak either, did we win? I heard a door open, followed by a bunch of footsteps,

"Is he alive?" I heard one voice say, it sounded like Neptune,

"He's alive, we know a little more about him now actually." Another voice said, that one sounded like IF,

"He doesn't like look hurt at all, why is he all wore out?" another voice said, that one was Compa, no doubt about it,

"He'll explain everything when he wakes up. Hopefully." Once again, another voice said, it sounded familiar, was it Black Heart?

I felt myself being laid on a comfortable surface, most likely a bed, and then a few footsteps left the room, but the door didn't shut, then I felt a hand run through my hair,

"Thank You..." the voice said, then I heard footsteps leave the room, then the door shut, I was now alone in the room, I still couldn't see, and I felt fine, no pain or anything, just the comfortableness of the bed. Nothing left to do now than sleep I suppose...


?'s POV

Fool... you really thought you were going to beat him, you were dumb enough to attack the CPU of the nation with him nearby, and even decided to fight him, he can't be killed, no matter at least I got what I wanted, I pulled out the small stone from my pocket, it was in the formation of an "X" and shined with a red glow, this is what I'll need to stop the CPU's and Hikan if needed, "He" will not interrupt my plans.


Hikan's POV

I woke up about two hours later and was able to see again, I got up from the bed I was in, I was shirtless and I had a scar on my stomach, what happened?

"Hey Saito." I said in my head and got no answer, if he wasn't answering then taht usually meant something bad, but I needed to know where everyone was, I got out of bed and started towards the closet and opened it, I pulled out a black tank top and put it on, then started towards the door, but it opened before I got to it, the person that opened it I wasn't expecting, it was Black Heart,

"L-L-Lady Black Heart?" I said surprised, she shut the door behind her and held her finger up to her lips,

"Shh, it's good that you're up, I need to talk to you, also... you can call me Noire..." she said, but I didn't hear that last part,

"Sure, but I didn't hear that last part, what did you say?" I asked, her face redden and she averted her gaze from mine,

"My name is Noire! Don't forget it!" she snapped, I stepped back a bit, and why did she get mad all of a sudden?!

"Alright... Noire, what did you want to talk about?" I said as I sat down on the bed,

"I want the truth, What is Purple Heart doing in MY nation?" Noire said, I sighed and looked at her,

"This is gonna be a long explanation, here sit down." I said, she sat down next to me on the bed, "I came here with Neptune, or Purple Heart as you call her, to get her memory back, A woman named Histoire is sealed away and asked us for existence, she said she knew a way to restore Neptune's memory, so we have to go to every nation and find these key fragments, they are like little stones and maybe we could find something to restore her memory in the process." I said after taking a deep breath,

"So, what you're saying is you're trying to help my enemy." she said, what is the deal with her and Neptune?

"Well, I answered your question, now you answer mine. What is the deal with you and Neptune?" I asked, Noire gave me an "are you stupid look".

"We goddesses have been at war for centuries, the war is called the 'Console War', we fought for our shares at first, but now we fight for the title of 'True Goddess'." Noire said, fighting for a title... is that it?

"Please tell me that's not all you care about is some stupid title." I said, her face turned into an angry look

"That title names that goddess the strongest, how dare you speak about it that way!" Noire yelled, I clasped my hand over her mouth, she looked at me with a surprised look,

"Don't yell, you wanted to talk in private, anyhow, I think that idea is stupid, so what if you're stronger than the others, you still have to run one nation and possibly all of them, that will just get yourself killed, and that 'Saviors' group or whatever, it'll just make there job easier." I said, she looked at me and nodded,

"I never thought about it that way, Hikan... how I been doing a horrible job..." She said, her eyes started to water up, why do I always have to watch girls cry?

"No, you're doing your best, you were trying to protect your nation, you didn't do anything wrong at all." I pulled her close to me, she didn't resist at all, "Just let us help you, we'll get you through this." she wrapped her arms around me and started to cry into my chest, this girl has been through loneliness, not as long as I have, but she's been through it a good bit, I'm not going to let her handle this alone.

"Hikan... Thank you." she said, to think their is a person in the world that suffered the same fate as I did, but I found people that care about me, now it's my turn to support her,

"Now let's go and tell the others the good news." I said, she looked at me and smiled,

"Yeah." she said as we both got up and walked out the door...


A/N: thanks all of you that followed and favorited, I will admit, I wasn't expecting this much support, but you guys proved me wrong. Thank you all and I hope to see you all later!
